Can you kill a cockroach?

I hate roaches because they are pests which are always associated with germs and bacteria. Whenever I see roaches around, especially at night time when they usually creep and come out from where they hide all day that I don't have any second thought of spraying them an insect killer.

Yeah! I smack it with a slipper or a stick.

I haven't used a stick yet. You are more of a hit man when using a stick because roaches are are very smart, they can easily get away with a stick;))

They freak me out. I hate any kind of beetle. I have only seen a cockroach once and luckily in my state, they are generally very small comparatively. I screamed and it ran away from me before my mom could kill it for me. So if you want to kill it, don't scream. lol.

Indeed,I have to see to it that everything around me is quite so as not to give an opportunity to the cockroach to run away from me. You are lucky to live in a state where cockroaches are becoming extinct;)

Hire a pet lizard they eat for room and board but don't use poison or he might flip upside down.

Definitely I'll kill the cockroaches, without any hesitation. I'm not afraid of them but I find them very disgusting and I hate cockroaches inside out. Sometimes, these things come out from no where and I will kill them with whatever way I can!!

I thought I am the only one who like to kill roaches because I have noticed most people have hated them yet only few have the guts to kill them. Now, we can be a gang against roaches and can be "roaches killer for hire"LOL

Why were you traumatized by cockroaches? Did you have a bad experience with them like you were bitten by this kind of pest?

yes, step on it.

I can consider myself a certified roach killer but don't have yet the guts to step on it because it is a yucky feeling when its abdomen would squeeze out a slimy white thing which I am sure carries a lot of bacteria.

actually i always fail to kill a cockroach especially when it is flying,and aside from that i always need something to tap with them such as step-in or shoes because they are dirty,but if they are really many then i need the help of anti cockroach sprayer.

I hate them too especially when they fly. I can kill cockroach by hitting using a slipper, but when you do that make sure you dont hit much or else ...it will be a sure mess...

You are right! I do sometimes use a slipper to kill a cockroach and I am developing a skill in hitting it right, bullseye;))

I do not like such insect too. And just one way for me how to kill them is with someting in my hand, I can not kill it just with hand. It can be really bad feeling when someting like that bite you during the night. Fuu. Scared to imagime.
